The number of publications about gout significantly increased yearly. Publications were mainly concentrated in North America, Europe, Oceania, and East Asia. The USA contributed most with 1,025 publications, followed by China and New Zealand. After adjusting for publications by population size and Gross Domestic Product (GDP), New Zealand ranked in the first place. GDP and international collaboration were significantly correlated with scientific productivity for gout research. University of Auckland and Professor Dalbeth Nicola were the most prolific institutions and influential authors, respectively. Rheumatology was the most productive journal for gout research. Gout research hotspots have shifted over time in the following order: clinical features, pathological mechanisms, complications, gouty arthritis, epidemiology, and dual-energy computed tomography to drug clinical trials, which can be observed from the keyword analysis and co-cited reference cluster analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study found that research on gout is flourishing.
